This quilt was designed & made in February 2010. It features panels designed by Holly Holderman of Lakehouse Dry Goods. The panels were in stores in 2010 and are hard to find now. I do not have any extra or currently know of a shop that has them. There is no "pattern" for the little dresses as they were the panel. If I find a source I'll let you know. {If you know one, please let me know!}

2. Place colored squares on corners of dress block to create a basic snowball block. The squares should be RST and you sew where the black line is in the diagram below.

3. trim off excess as shown below off all 4 corners and press the "photo corners" out to complete your snowball block. repeat for all 12 dress blocks.

4. Lay out your 12 blocks as shown below until you are happy with your layout and balance of colors.

5. Make the center panel. As directed above it should be cut at 31.5" x 11.5" from small WOW dot. print out the letters you need from this PDF file. If the name you are going to use is a long name you may want to make the letters smaller so they all fit. Use fusible web to apply the letters. I sewed them on with a machine blanket stitch to finish them.

6. This is the overall layout of the quilt. sew the top & bottom rows together with 5 blocks and 4 sashing strips. For the center sew the sashing strips to the side blocks & then sew them onto the center panel. Then sew all 3 rows together. Finally sew the borders on.

7. Layer with batting & backing and quilt as desired. I did an overall loopy design and avoided quilting the letters in the center. As a result they appear to slightly pop off the quilt.

Very cute Julie. I couldn't decide in the first place what which quilt I wanted and now that I see how quickly this one came together thats another thing to consider. One thing for sure, I need lots of these panels for my stash!

This quilt has stolen my heart since the first time you shared it. Any chance you will be making a kit to sell? I am so glad you are feeling better after your surgery. I have reactions to pain meds too, so I felt your pain. Back to the quilt, I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will be making a kit. soardkg@fuse.net
